A leptospirose é uma zoonose de importância global, causada por leptospiras patogênicas. Seu tratamento é limitado quando iniciado após quatro dias do surgimento de sintomas, portanto, novas terapias adjuvantes são necessárias. Objetivo. Testar a droga imunomoduladora talidomida como terapia adjuvante à ampicilina no modelo de tratamento tardio da leptospirose experimental em hamsters. Métodos. 60 hamsters foram infectados via intraperitoneal por Leptospirainterrogans cepa L1-130, e foram separados em grupos: nenhum tratamento (NONE), talidomida (TAL), ampicilina (AMP) e ambos (AMP-TAL). A talidomida foi administrada via sonda orogástrica na dosagem de 50 mg/Kg diluída em óleo de linhaça (2ml/Kg) por três dias. Já a ampicilina por via intramuscular: 100mg/Kg/bid por seis dias. Foram realizados dois desenhos experimentais. Experimento 1: o tratamento foi iniciado 48h após o início dos sinais clínicos da doença. Experimento 2: o tratamento foi iniciado imediatamente após a detecção do primeiro óbito entre os animais infectados. Resultados. Experimento1: todos os hamsters dos grupos AMP e AMP-TAL sobreviveram (n=8) enquanto todos os animais dos grupos NONE (n=6) e TAL (n=8) morreram. Os hamsters dos grupos AMP e AMP-TAL não mostraram lesões renais, pulmonares ou hepáticas. Baixa carga de leptospiras foi detectada nos órgãos alvo. Experimento 2: o desfecho letal foi observado em 6/6 hamsters no grupo NONE, 8/8 do grupo TAL, 6/8 do AMP e 6/8 do AMP-TAL. A talidomida usada como adjuvante não prolongou a sobrevida dos animais tratados com ampicilina. No entanto, o grupo TAL apresentou sobrevida mais longa que o grupo que não recebeu tratamento algum. Os animais tratados apresentaram maior frequência de destrabeculação de hepatócitos. Conclusão: Esse estudo abre novas perspectivas no desenvolvimento de um tratamento tardio na leptospirose, contudo observou-se que a talidomida utilizada como terapia adjuvante não teve impacto na sobrevida de hamsters como modelo de início tardio de terapia antimicrobiana.
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis of global importance, caused by pathogenic leptospira. His treatment is limited when started after four days of onset of symptoms, increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality, so new adjuvant therapies are needed.Objectives.To test the immunomodulatory drug, thalidomide, as an adjuvant therapy to antibiotics in experimental leptospirosis. Methods. Hamsters were infected by Leptospirainterrogans strain L1-130, and groups were assigned based on no treatment (NONE), thalidomide only (TAL), ampicillin only (AMP) or both (AMP-TAL). Thalidomide was administered via a gastric tube: 50 mg/kg in linseed oil and 2 ml/kg for three days. Ampicillin was administered intramuscularly at the rate of 100 mg/kg/bid for six days. Treatment was started two days after the onset of symptoms (experiment 1) and immediately after detection of the first death (experiment 2). Results. Experiment 1: all hamsters from the groups AMP and AMP-TAL survived (n=8), while all hamsters from groups NONE (n=6) and TAL (n=8) died. The AMP and the AMP-TAL groups showed no renal, lung or liver pathology and absent or very low leptospiral burden in target organs. Experiment 2: lethal outcome was observed in 6/6 hamsters in the NONE group, 8/8 in the TAL group, and 6/8 in the AMP group and the AMP-TAL group. Thalidomide showed no survival benefit when compared to hamsters treated with ampicillin alone. The TAL group, however, had a longer interval between infection and death when compared to the NONE group. Treated animals had a higher frequency of liver plate disarray. The TAL, AMP and AMP-TAL groups had very low tissue leptospiral counts. Conclusion: This study may open new perspectives to assist the development of a delayed treatment in leptospirosis, however it was observed that thalidomide used as adjuvant therapy had no impact on the survival of hamsters as late onset of antimicrobial therapy model.

Full textO estudo retrospetivo desenvolvido teve como objetivo caraterizar uma amostra de canídeos infetados com Leptospira spp., comparando os resultados obtidos com os descritos pela bibliografia disponível e, ainda, verificar se existem associações entre as alterações he matológicas, os achados ecográficos e o desfecho clínico dos casos. A amostra do presente estudo é constituída por 17 cães diagnosticados com leptospi rose no Hospital Veterinário do Atlântico durante um período de quatro anos. As alterações analíticas mais frequentemente observadas na amostra incluem as con centrações elevadas de ureia (n=17), creatinina (n=17), FAS (n=14) e ALT (n=9), bem como a presença de leucocitose (n=11), neutrofilia (n=10) e trombocitopenia (n=10). Todos os animais apresentaram alterações ao exame ecográfico, sendo as mais fre quentes o aumento da ecogenecidade do córtex renal (n=10), renomegalia (n=8) e hepato megalia (n=8). Durante a hospitalização quase metade dos animais desenvolveram um quadro de infeção respiratória (n=8), verificando-se que a principal causa de morte dos animais deste estudo foi o desenvolvimento de hemorragia pulmonar (n=5). É possível concluir que os resultados obtidos neste estudo apresentam uma elevada concordância com os resultados descritos por outros autores, porém não se verificou a exis tência de correlações entre as alterações analíticas, achados ecográficos e o desfecho clínico dos casos.
ABSTRACT - Canine Leptospirosis: a retrospective study on the relation between haemato logical alterations, ultrasonography findings and clinical outcome - The aim of this study is to characterize, retrospectively, the data of dogs diagnosed with Leptospira spp. and compare the results with the current literature. Furthermore, to com pare the haematological alterations, ultrasonography findings and clinical outcomes of the dif ferent cases. The sample group consisted of 17 dogs diagnosed with leptospirosis at the Hospital Veterinário do Atlântico in the last four years. High concentrations of urea (n=17), creatinine (n=17), ALP (n=14) and ALT (n=9) were the most common laboratorial findings in the sample group, as well as leucocytosis (n=11), neutrophilia (n=10) and thrombocytopenia (n=10). Ultrasonography abnormalities were found in all the dogs, namely an increase in the echogenicity of the renal cortex (n=10), renomegaly (n=8) and hepatomegaly (n=8). During hospitalization, nearly half of the sample group developed respiratory symp toms/infection (n=8), which lead to the main cause of death, pulmonary haemorrhage (n=5). In conclusion, the results from this study are in concordance with results obtained from previous studies. On the other hand, no correlation was found between the haematological alterations, ultrasonography findings and clinical outcomes of the cases.

Full textLeptospirosis is an emerging neglected disease representing a heavy burden in the tropics, especially in tropical islands such as Seychelles, which record among the highest human incidence worldwide. This thesis aims at exploring the eco-epidemiology of leptospirosis in Seychelles by (i) using rats as markers of environmental exposure to Leptospira infection, (ii) describing the molecular epidemiology of the disease in humans and animals in a One Health framework, and (iii) identifying occupational and behavioural risk factors while comparing the current situation to that described 25 years ago. The combination of fine spatial distribution, molecular and clinical epidemiology complement each other in providing a comprehensive picture of the continuum involving reservoirs and human hosts within a shared environment.Habitat fragmentation and proximity to nutritional sources are found good predictors of Leptospira-laden Rattus spp. Geospatial analyses determined a selection of other important variable factors that are strongly correlated with Leptospira infection in Rattus spp., including altitude or distance to surface water (negative correlation), urbanization and heavy rainfall (positive correlation). Results of these analyses can guide policy makers and especially urban planners to best implement landscape structures for conservation or pest control goals leading to reduced exposure of humans to rat-borne diseases.Rattus norvegicus is found significantly more infected than Rattus rattus. Therefore, increased infection in urbanized/fragmented habitats may result at least in part from Rattus spp distribution, as R. norvegicus is mostly found in urban areas. Most importantly, genotyping of Leptospira in human acute cases and rats suggests that these rodents are involved in only a third of human acute infections, while most human cases originate from yet to be identified reservoir(s).An annual incidence of 54.6 (95% CI 40.7-71.8) per 100,000 confirms the major medical and public health importance of the disease in the country. The disease affects mainly men (96%) and displays a case fatality rate of 11.2%, mostly associated with severe forms (acute renal failure, hepatic failure and pulmonary haemorrhage). Farming and gardening related activities, proximity to cattle and cats, thrombocytopaenia, leukocytosis, elevated bilirubin and high values for renal function tests are predictors of leptospirosis. The geographical distribution of human cases poorly overlaps districts of high prevalence in rats in keeping with a restricted role of rats in human disease.The comparison of figures reported herein and in previous studies published 25 years ago reveals changes in behaviour and exposure, and shows that the development of health care has lowered the case fatality despite still high disease incidence in the country. A low level of knowledge on leptospirosis is reported, urging the need for implementing health education campaigns. Altogether, the data presented in this thesis strongly supports the implementation of a research program aiming at discovering alternative reservoir(s) to provide a full understanding of the epidemiological situation, which will allow fine tuning preventive measures for an efficient control of a disease that is still recognised as the infectious disease causing the highest mortality in the country

A leptospirose é a principal doença infecciosa zoonótica em áreas urbanas nos países em desenvolvimento, porém subnotificada. O conhecimento e as atitudes sobre a leptospirose é desconhecida nas comunidades brasileiras onde a doença é prevalente. Objetivos: 1) Descrever os casos notificados de leptospirose, fatores de risco para óbito, influência das chuvas em cidades metropolitanas e parte da carga da leptospirose no Brasil, 2000-2009. 2) Descrever o conhecimento e as atitudes sobre leptospirose dos moradores de uma favela na cidade de Salvador. Métodos:1) Foram descritos os casos notificados de leptospirose no Sistema Nacional de Vigilância de 2000 a 2009. Foi analisada a influência das chuvas e a ocorrência de casos de leptospirose em cinco metrópoles brasileiras. Foram calculadas as taxas de incidência, hospitalização, mortalidade e letalidade por leptospirose e foram avaliados os fatores de risco para óbito a partir das variáveis demográficas entre os casos confirmados. 2) Foi conduzido um estudo transversal sobre o conhecimento e atitudes sobre leptospirose na comunidade de Pau da Lima, Salvador – Bahia. Resultados: 1) A doença acomete populações vulneráveis socialmente que vivem em áreas urbanas. As taxas de incidência, hospitalização, mortalidade e letalidade foram 1,48, 1.04, 0,12 por 100.000 habitantes e 9%, respectivamente. A partir de 15 anos de idade (OR=1,88; IC95% 1,39-2,55), baixo nível educacional (OR=1,35; IC95% 1,17-1,56), viver em área urbana (OR=2,19; IC95% 1,80-2,69) foram detectados como fatores de risco para óbito entre os casos confirmados. As chuvas tiveram forte relação com a ocorrência de surtos sazonais da doença em cinco cidades metropolitanas. 2) 72,7% das pessoas sabem que a leptospirose é uma doença transmitida por ratos, 56,4% reconhecem que pegam a doença com o contato com urina de ratos, 17,8% referiram limpar esgotos ao redor da sua casa, 35,5% referiram usar luvas e 33,3% botas para se proteger. Conclusão: No Brasil, a doença acomete homens adultos, com baixa nível educacional que vivem em áreas urbanas, tais achados estão associados a óbitos. Muitos surtos sazonais ocorreram sob influência das chuvas nas cidades metropolitanas estudadas. Na comunidade de Pau da Lima, uma favela de Salvador, as pessoas conhecem a leptospirose e as principais atitudes detectadas estão relacionadas as contínuas exposições a água de chuvas e esgotos na comunidade. As conclusões deste trabalho apontam para a necessidade de estruturar serviços de saúde que antecedam as chuvas, e para obras de saneamento básico em regiões metropolitanas com maior incidência da doença. Recomendamos que sejam realizados outros estudos sobre o conhecimento em relação a leptospirose para entender os déficits de informação da população, assim como instruí-los para organizadamente cobrarem soluções como obras de saneamento básico que minimizem o impacto da leptospirose na população.
The leptospirosis is major zoonotic infectious disease in urban areas in the developing countries. However, the leptospirosis is underreported in the world. The knowledge and attitudes about leptospirosis of the communities which suffer due the leptospirosis is unavailable. Objectives 1) To describe the leptospirosis cases reported, risk factors for death, influence of the rainfalls in metropolitan cities and, part of the burden caused by the leptospirosis in Brazil from 2000 through 2009. 2) To describe the knowledge and attitudes about leptospirosis in slum area in metropolitan city of the Brazil. Methods: 1) Were described the leptospirosis cases reported in the National Surveillance System from 2000 to 2009. Were analyzed the influence of the rainfalls in metropolitan cities, were analyzed frequency measures and, were identified risk factors for death. 2) Was conducted a cross-section study about the knowledge and attitudes about leptospirosis in the community of “Pau da Lima”, Salvador- Bahia. Results: 1) The disease attacks adult men in economically active age with low educational level living in urban areas. Incidence, hospitalization, mortality and lethality rates were 1.48, 1.04, 0.12 per 100.000 inhabitants, and 9% respectively. Being aged 15 or above (OR=1.88; IC 95% 1.39-2.55), having low educational level (OR=1.35; IC 95% 1.17-1.56), and living in urban areas (OR=2.19; IC 95% 1.80-2.69) have been detected as risk factors for death among the confirmed cases. Rains were strongly related to the occurrence to seasonal outbreaks of the disease in five metropolitan cities studied. 2) In an urban slum in Salvador, 72.7% of the individuals know that leptospirosis is a disease transmitted by rats, 56.4% recognized that the disease can be contracted by getting in contact with the urine of rats, 17.8% clean the sewers surrounding their houses, 35.5% wear gloves and 33.3% wear boots to protect them. Conclusion: In Brazil, the disease attacks adult men with low educational level living in urban areas, these covariates are associated to death. Many seasonal outbreaks occur in the studied metropolitan cities under the influence of rain. In a slum area in Salvador, people know leptospirosis and the main attitudes detected are related to continuous exposition of the community to rainfalls and sewers. Health policies geared to structuring health services prior to rains and the implementation of basic sanitation infrastructure to be requirements for minimizing the occurrence of leptospirosis in mega cities. We also recommend the conduction of studies on the knowledge and attitudes in order to understand population’s information deficit, as well as to instruct them to demand solutions such as the construction of basic sanitation infrastructure in an orderly manner.

Introduction. Leptospirosis is en endemic disease in Northeast of Brazil, which is characterized by potential fatal complications such as acute kidney injury (AKI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical manifestations, the AKI classification and the risk factors for death in patients with the severe form of leptospirosis. Methods. A retrospective study was conducted in patients with severe form of leptospirosis admitted to tertiary hospitals in Fortaleza city, Northeast of Brazil. The clinical manifestations, laboratory tests at admission and during hospital stay, as well as treatment, were evaluated. AKI was defined according to the RIFLE and AKIN classifications, and the patients in each category were compared. Patients who used and who did not use penicillin, as well as survivors and non-survivors, were compared. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to investigate the risk factors for death. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS program version 10.0. Results. A total of 287 patients were included, with a mean age of 36.8Â15.6 years, and 80.8% were male. The main signs and symptoms at admission were fever (96.2%), myalgia (90.6%), jaundice (85.7%), headache (74.2%), vomiting (70.7%), dehydration (54%) and chills (53.7%). AKI was observed in 237 patients (82%) according to the RIFLE criteria and 242 (84%) according to AKIN. General mortality was 13%. Mortality was similar in patients who used and who did not use penicillin (11.6% vs. 13.7%, p=0.60). An increase in mortality was observed according to the worst classifications of RIFLE and AKIN: RIFLE-R (2%), RIFLE-I (8%) e RIFLE-F (23%), AKIN 1 (2%), AKIN 2 (8%) e AKIN 3 (23%), p<0.0001. Patients with oliguria had a higher mortality (20%), when compared to those without oliguria (5%), p=0.02. Independent risk factors for death were: RIFLE-F (OR=10.5, 95% CI=1.3-80.8, p<0.001), AKIN 3 (OR=7.5, 95% CI=2.2-25.2 p<0.001) and need of dialysis (OR=3.5, 95% CI=1.1-11.01, p=0.01). Conclusions. AKI is a frequent complication in leptospirosis, with significant mortality. There was association between RIFLE and AKIN classifications with mortality. Independent risk factors for death were RIFLE-F, AKIN 3 and need of dialysis.
